I have Sutton's who migrated about 1795 to Deerfield, (now South Lebanon)
Warren County, Ohio (originally Hamilton County until 1803). On General David
Sutton's tombstone it states that he was a native of Hunterdon County, NJ. He
would have been born about 1766 and at the time of his death was married to a
woman named Mary. This was the David Sutton who was the first Clerk of Courts
of Warren County, Ohio and led troops in the War of 1812. He was part of the
migration that settled in the Symmes Purchase area of Southwest Ohio. My
question is: Did he come directly from NJ to Ohio or did he live in Northern
Kentucky for a time before crossing the Ohio River to settle? Needless to say,
tracing the "David Sutton" name is quite a challenge since there were so many of
them.
